Oulton Park with trees and no barriers
No sound I'm afraid but still worth a watch
 Graham Hill overdoing it a bit! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYQKK...eature=related Jo Bonnier doing something similar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5II8T...eature=related 68 Gold Gup http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNvye...eature=related 67 Gold Cup http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK2Sh...eature=related It does look very dangerous! |

It does look dangerous, but that is how I remember the racing when I was young. No or hardly run off, armco or whatever.
Can you imagine todays professionals doing something like these guys did all those years ago? Me neither.

In 1971 I went to my first hillclimb meeting at Doune. There were straw bales tied to the occasional tree - when I asked a marshal why some trees had straw bales and others didn't he replied "The ones with the bales are the ones they have hit before!"
There are now armco barriers, not to protect the drivers I hasten to add but to protect the trees!

I raced at Oulton through the 80's and 90's so it had changed a bit by then. I think I prefer to hit barriers rather than trees! Great stuff. I have a look at the others. |
